Are you passing off work you didn't do as your own? If so, it's plagiarism. Doesn't matter exactly where the work came from or how it was laundered, since you know you didn't do it. Simple as that.




Tobi Lutke very explicitly did not pass off the work as his own. He attributed it to Claude. Does the fact that he didn't know about and include all of Claude's sources make it plagiarism? Would he have had the same obligation if he learned it from Bob?

Yes. The OP wrote:

Read it carefully: Claude Code is the actor that's doing the plagiarizing.

What Tobias Lutke is doing is gushing about plagiarism like it's original work.

It's like if I gave you a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird, but with my name as the author, and you then went around telling everyone how impressive of a writer I am.
